PlayStation Plus

With August kicking off tomorrow, that means we've got a new slate of free PlayStation Plus games arriving soon. As it usually does, Sony has revealed what's in store for August a few days before the games actually go live. This time around, we've got games that are almost polar opposites of one another, with one being extremely fast-paced and the other requiring that you take your time and plan things out before acting.

With the calendar now showing July, it's time for another round of free PlayStation Plus games. As it usually does, Sony detailed the free games for the month a few days before the end of June, but there's been a sudden last minute change. Sony has decided to swap one of the games for July with another one, and PlayStation 4 owners will definitely want to check it out.

With the growing number of games getting added to console libraries, it has become customary for console makers to offer a few titles for free on a rotational basis. For a subscription fee, of course. For July, Sony is adding two games to its PlayStation Plus portfolio and while the two couldn’t be farther apart in genres they are bound by a common theme: the need for speed.

The last few months have been relatively quiet in terms of the free games offered through PlayStation Plus, but that's all changing in June. Sony has revealed the games that will up for grabs through PS Plus next month, and both of them are excellent titles worth downloading. That's especially true if recent events have you feeling down about a particular blue hedgehog.

If you looked at the calendar today and wondered where the announcements of May's PlayStation Plus titles were, you're definitely not alone there. Sony, it seems, waited until the last minute to detail the free games for PlayStation Plus in May, as that news didn't come around the bend until just a short time ago. In any case, let's dive into the titles you'll be able to snag for free from PlayStation Plus this month.

Another round of free PlayStation Plus games will be launching in the next few days, and today Sony gave us an idea of what to expect. Things are looking a little bit different this month, as the final free games for PS3 and PS Vita have seen their free period end. April will be the first full month where only PS4 titles are available through PlayStation Plus.

Sony has a special treat for PlayStation Plus subscribers right now: a free Fortnite skin and back bling called 'Carbon.' The offer is exclusive to PlayStation Plus, the company's subscription plan for PS4 owners who want to play multiplayer games online. This isn't the first time PlayStation 4 console owners have been offered a free skin, but it won't be available forever.

Sony has revealed the free PlayStation Plus games for March and the list of free games is a fair bit shorter than we're used to seeing. That's because Sony has ended support for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita beginning in March. Though PS3 and PS Vita users can still subscribe to PlayStation Plus and receive other benefits, they'll no longer receive free games each month.

With February just around the corner, Sony has detailed the next round of free games that will be offered through PlayStation Plus. As always, there are two games for each of the consoles currently supported by PlayStation Plus: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita. The two games headlining February's batch are particularly big names, so we can imagine many people putting bandwidth toward downloading PS Plus games in February.

Sony just made a big announcement for its PlayStation Plus subscribers: starting next month, they'll have 100GB of storage capacity for cloud game saves. This is a huge increase from the current 10GB cloud storage limit, making it possible to backup substantially more game saves online. What benefit does cloud storage offer? The freedom to use more than one PS4 console.

Sony has revealed the free games it will offer its console owners in January 2019. Next month's lineup will still include free PlayStation 3 and PS Vita games in addition to the PS4 titles, though Sony previously revealed plans to drop PS3/PS Vita offerings from the lineup early next year. Though it's not a massive haul, January's lineup includes a couple notable titles for everyone.

Sony has sent an email to PlayStation Plus subscribers with a reminder many customers may have missed the first time around: it will stop offering PlayStation 3 and PS Vita games as part of its PS Plus monthly free games lineup. The change will take place after March 8, 2019, though users will get to keep the ones they've already acquired as long as they keep their subscription.
